I very much doubt that :-)
Whether the server is a Mac or a polka-dotted unicorn (??), if you can 
ping it, it pretty much has to have an arp association on the client 
machine :-)

after you do the ping, does the arp table on the server have an entry 
for the client ?

could you send the output of ipconfig on the windows client, and 
ifconfig on the Mac server. Thanks
